Hi openldap, Anybody out there has an idea about the character set conversion? I can not search for Turkish specific characters(Turkish umlauts) in the directory server. I think I gotta convert from Latin-1(or whatever) to UTF-8. I would appreciate any code for conversion or any pointer to a resource about this issue My platform info: W98, Visual C++, Netscape SDK 3.0 Thanks in advance Koray Ozpolat
